Primal Skirt Steak Marinade. Flank steak, like skirt steak is a long cut of beef but is found at the bottom abdominal area of the cow. It also has a lot of tough fibers due to the connective tissue and works well with marinades. I put skirt and flank steak together for this marinade recipe because they are similar cuts of meat.
I truly think it's the best marinade for grilling skirt steak.
If there is any kind of membrane along one side of the meat, remove that by just pulling it off (sometimes it has already been removed.
Skirt steak, with its coarse texture and hearty grain is a great cut for marinating, particularly when the marinade is a garlicky mix of lime and orange juice.
